Kaysyn Saw A "Box" In The Water

Bonnie had been walking the beaches instead of going to breakfast with her friends. She had been feeling strange ever since she got to the airport. She had this feeling that she should be looking for a trunk instead of enjoying her vacation. She racked her brain trying to figure out why she was not only trying to find a trunk but had this odd craving for eggs and biscuits. "Maybe I should have gone with the girls this morning. I could be just plain old hungry."

As she turned to retrace her steps she saw a little girl looking out over the water. She walked up to her and said, "Hello, what is your name?"

The little girl looked up at her and said, "I'm Kaysyn. What is your name?"
Bonnie told her who she was and said, "Where is your mama?" Kaysyn pointed to her mama off to her side. She was watching the two of them and waved as she walked towards them.

Kaysyn loooked and pointed and said, "See that big old box? Why is a box in the water?"
Bonnie looked where the little girl was pointing and said, "I see a little duck. Is that what you meant?"
Kaysyn shook her head and said, "No it's a big old box with ropes on it."

Bonnie was squinting her eyes to try to see the box that the little girl talking about. The sun seemed to be shining so bright she could hardly see.  The longer she looked the more strange she felt. Suddenly she said, "That's me trunk. Arghrr! I have to have that trunk." Kaysyn's mama took her hand and said, "Come along, Honey. I think we need to go back to the car."

From a distance there was an old old woman watching to see what was going to happen. She knew what was in that trunk. Long ago she had told the writer that someday, somehow someone was going to find it. "I wonder if  today is going to be the day."
